NoteMaster

NoteMaster is a straightforward app for taking notes. Connected up with Dropbox or Google Drive, users can create notes, to-do lists and tasks -- inserting text, images, photos and drawings as you go -- before uploading and backing up data through cloud storage. Information is automatically synced when you open and close the app. Notes synced with Dropbox become .docx files, while files synced with Google Drive are saved as Google Docs documents, allowing editing and viewing online.
